Chevrolet Overview:
Chevrolet has been riding high of late and introduces a brand new model for 2012: the subcompact Sonic.
The Sonic becomes the smallest car in Chevy’s lineup, replacing the Aveo. Available as either a sedan or a five-door hatchback, the Sonic shares engine options with the compact Cruze and offers a significantly improved interior compared to its predecessor.
With the new Sonic and the compact Cruze sedan, Chevy is looking to prove that it can indeed build small cars the people want to drive. Speaking of the Cruze, it offers plenty of passenger and cargo room for a car of its class and Eco versions still get up to 42 mpg on the highway.
Need more space? Then the midsize Malibu and the full-size Impala might be more up your alley.
Chevrolet is also home to two of America’s iconic sports cars: the muscular Camaro and the “proof that America still builds rockets” Corvette. The Camaro, which comes as a coupe or convertible, has been in a horsepower arms race of sorts with that other pony car across town and it strikes back in 2012 with a new supercharged ZL1 high-performance trim.
The Corvette needs no introduction and for 2012 it gets an updated interior that includes new seats with more bolstering as well as a new steering wheel. ZR1 varieties of the Corvette can hit 205 mph.
If you’re in the market for something with a little bit more utility, Chevrolet has got you covered offering a few crossovers/SUVs that will help you schlep around kids and cargo. It starts with the compact crossover Equinox which has become one of their top sellers with a flexible interior (including a second-row that slides forward/back and folds) as well as options like a rear-seat DVD entertainment system which is not common in this segment. Next up is the three-row Traverse which will suit you if you find that you need more seating. Power comes from a direct-injected 3.6-liter V-6 and both of these crossovers are available with all-wheel drive.
There is also a trio of full-size SUVs which provide maximum utility. The eight-passenger Tahoe is also available as the Tahoe Hybrid for those who want to save some money at the pump. Topping things off is the Suburban, which also comes in two varieties: the regular-duty Suburban 1500 and the heavy-duty Suburban 2500. Rear-wheel drive is standard while four-wheel drive is optional.
Chevrolet’s pickup trucks are very similar to their other GM counterparts. Starting things off is the flexible Colorado compact truck, along with its three available engines and three cab styles which make it very flexible.
Up next is the full-size Silverado family, which includes the regular-duty Silverado 1500 and Silverado 1500 Hybrid, and the heavy-duty Silverado 2500 and Silverado 3500. The Silverado 1500 is the best-selling truck of the bunch and gets an exterior makeover for 2012 with a new grille and fascia up front. If you want full-size utility without paying a full-size price at the pump, the Silverado 1500 Hybrid gives you better mpg ratings while still being able to tow up to 6,100 pounds.
The Avalanche combines the body of an SUV with the utility of pickup truck bed so you get the best of both worlds and the midgate even folds down for more space in the back when needed.
Chevrolet also offers a line of work vans for the commercially inclined, the Express 1500, Express 2500, and Express 3500.
Production was expanded on the Volt plug-in sedan and when it reaches nationwide distribution we will cover it more closely on this site.
